AIBU to ask you to nominate Balonz?

[SnowdropFox]

So, Twitter users may have seen that the UKs Met Office is looking for suggestions for this seasons storm names.

So, AIBU to ask any mumsnet users with Twitter to nominate the very mumsnet worthy name of Storm Balonz by posting the following from their account?:

Hi @metoffice, I'd like to help #NameOurStorms and nominate #Balonz!

Just imagine it, sitting with a cup of tea watching the weather after the news and

POW

"Bad news everyone, there is a weather warning in place for Storm Balonz which hits the country at the end of the week".

And at that moment you can imagine that across the country hundreds of other mumsnetters also smiling into their cuppa knowing what we have achieved.

What do we think?

Cannot hear ‘Frensham Ponds’ without thinking of that thread

Done!

If we get a storm Balonz I swear I will stand in the garden in the rain, enjoying every minute of it!

This is the best thing I've seen all week. I've got a few email addresses, I will vote as many times as I can!

Ok, I've suggested it using my own three email addresses, DHs and my 69 year old father's (he always locks himself out so I have his details). I also tweeted. This needs to happen.

@SnowdropFox

I’m happy to help too, email sent.

I believe this thread to be deserving of a "bump"

I'm in.

Done. I've also put it on the long name list for any future dogs, in the unlikelihood of any more human additions to the family.

Emailed. Genius idea!

Bump again

So pleased to see so many nominations for Storm Balonz! Hopefully the Met Office take a chance and use this wonderful instead of something more unusual such a Bob or Bill.

wonderful name*

I've just emailed

Only just noticed that Mumsnet have also tweeted the Met Office, what good eggs!

LOVE THIS. My favourite thread, nay, piece of writing ever. I read it about once a month just for the LOLs.

Voted.

done!

Done!

Done! That thread was superb. Just the name Frensham Ponds cracks me up, it’s somehow comedic. Along with that common moniker Balonz obvs..

Emailed

brilliant!

Also done! Love this
